"Compal confirmed it has shifted a portion of its MID R&D manpower to work on netbooks, but stressed that it has not given up on MIDs, which it will continue to ship in small volumes."

Davide, it's not as if they're not doing them anymore! They're just focusing on netbooks... but isn't that the stupid choice? Everybody does netbooks. Moorestown is coming and it should make pocketable MIDs the dream devices they originally were aimed to be. Of course they may use Moorestown on netbooks too... but that would be a waste of the early Moorestown silicon! I want the world in my pocket and on the palm of my hand, not on my lap.

LOVE the external battery charger, that way you always have a full battery ready to go instead of having to recharge the device your using. those nice additional touches are usually only found on highend machines like the OQO.

I'm sold. Wow. To think that I was even considering the non-3g version just to get involved. If this hits the $799 price tag (£550) I will definitely be making the purchase... One Q's: I'm assuming the SSD is a 64 but on the vid it sounds like you say something else?

This is a very good looking device! With 3g and good battery life, it's really something to desire. I thought about how much space it would have added with a slide-out keyboard, then you compared it with the Aigo and made the note about battery life, so I suppose that settles it ;)

What bios version the s5 have??? I try to upgrade the hdd on my s5 with runcore mini zif 64gb , but no luck. The bios see the ssd as slave , but cannot format it ( i can make partition(s) but cant format , tried xp and windows 7 ). If i clone it with acronis it boot first time but after restart I get windows BSOD !. I can format it if connected via usb.

Take the plastic holder apart from a leather Viliv cases. Its is already a perfect holder for the device. Now simply screw/tape/rubber band/do whatever is necessary to attach the plastic holder from the Viliv case to the lid of the diNovo, and you have yourself a perfect keyboard attachment! No modding to the Viliv itself whatsoever! It may not work, but it definitely seems like a much better solution than relying on the weak strength of velcro stuck to the two.

do you ever answer peoples questions JKK or just keep creating new articles in order to generate ad revenue?

dear the freq , JKK did mention earlier , he cant answer every question since he is busy , is super busy , i believe he is only one , can provide us a fair view on every machine. but only RUNCORE SSD (hp mini) which recomended by him , is a bit disappointed , may be due to MDD or RUNCore producer.

for generating Business income , if you dont like it , you can advoid his site , or without click any business advertisement , but i am a fan of him , and supporter , i will hit more the google ad and other advisertimese for him , i show my support. he can continue to provide more on the review.

remember , he is human , need family time and rest , and machine , even a cow also need a own time.

It does if he doesn't have a monitor big enough...say his monitor only goes up to 1400x900, well then how the heck is he supposed to know if it could reach 1920x1200. Seriously when did people forget to think.
